Structure and operating principle 2.1 Structure of the appliance 1 Pilot light 4 2 Grease tray (dishwasher-proof) 3 Appliance cover 3 4 Cast gridiron (detachable) 5 2 6 5 Lava stone box (underneath the cast gridiron) to accommodate the lava stones 6 Control knob for the front grilling element 7 Control knob for the rear grilling element 1 Fig. 2 7 2.2 Accessories As standard, your grill comes with the following accessories (fig. 3): – Lava stones – Grilling tongs – Cleaning brush You can order the following special accessories: – Griddle plate AM 060-000 Fig. 3 2.3 Operating principle Fig. 4 4 Grilling involves browning and cooking through intensive heat radiation or conduction without or with only a small amount of fat. Grilling involves a temperature between 250 and 270 °C. The heat radiation is absorbed by the food. The following foodstuffs are suitable for grilling: Fish, meat, poultry, fruit, vegetables and special cakes and biscuits. The unit features two separately switchable grilling elements. So, you have a possibility of grilling separate foodstuffs with differing temperature requirements at the same time. You can also save energy with smaller or small numbers of grilled pieces. 3. Operation Make sure when unpacking that there are lava stones in the appliance. Take the lava stones out of the foil and pour them into the lava stone box. (The contents of the bag are sufficient.) 3.1 Switching on 0 1 Switching on: Turn the two control knobs to the required stage (1-9). You can turn on only one of the two heating elements or you can choose different switch settings. The pilot light lights up red. 0 1 9 3 7 9 3 7 Caution: Grilling produces very high temperatures. Keep the appliance out of the reach of children! Fig. 5 Switching off: Turn both control knobs to the 0 position. The pilot light goes off. 3.2 Switching off 0 1 3 Caution! The appliance must not be touched for at least 15-20 minutes! Risk of burns! 0 1 9 7 9 3 Fig. 6 Please observe our “tips and tricks"! Do not replace the cover until the appliance has cooled down completely! 7 And this is how to grill: – Switch on the appliance as described above. – Heat up the grill at level 9 for about 7-8 minutes. – Switch back to a lower level after preheating. Put on the food you wish to grill. Notes: – Dry moist food well. – The moister the food is, the more smoke may be produced! – During grilling, dripping fat may flare up briefly. 5 3.3 Operation with griddle plate – Detach the gridiron – Place the grille plate AM 060-000 (special accessory) on the Vario grill (Fig. 7). – Switch on the appliance as described on Page 5. – Heat up the grill at level 9 for about 5 minutes. – Switch back to a lower level (between 5 and 7) after preheating. Put on the food you wish to grill. The griddle plate is particularly suitable for preparing fish, vegetables, sweets (e.g. shredded pancake with sugar and raisins), but also meat. Fig. 7 6 4. Cleaning and care Please thoroughly clean the appliance before operating it for the first time. Heat up the appliance at level 9 for a few minutes. Allow the appliance to cool down. Swivel up the two heating elements and remove the inner tub containing the lava stones. Clean the grill after every use. By doing so, you avoid baking in of residues. After residues have baked in several times, they are then difficult to remove. Wait until the appliance has cooled down completely before cleaning it. Do not use any abrasive or caustic cleaners (abrasive and nitro cleaning agents). Do not use any abrasive sponges! To clean the griddle plate AM 060-000 (special accessory), sprinkle coarse salt onto the grilling surface after use. Mix the salt with the grease until it has become saturated with the grease. Remove the salt and wipe it away with a dry cloth. It is advisable to spray or rub the griddle plate with oil if it is not in use for a prolonged length of time. Clean the grease collecting tray in a dishwasher. Clean the gridiron with the grill brush or with dishwashing detergent and a dishwashing brush. The lava stones must be replaced when they are black. In this case, the lava stones have become saturated with grease. You can order lava stones by quoting the order number LV 020-000. Wash the lava stones thoroughly with rinsing detergent and dry them. Pour the lava stones back into the lava stone tub and tilt down the grilling elements. The grilling elements must lie flat. Heat up both grilling elements to level 9 for a few minutes and then turn the control knob to 0. Wipe out the stainless steel tub with rinsing detergent. Soak stubborn stains. Do not scrape off baked in food remainders. Soften them with a moist cloth and detergent instead. You can clean the tub (not the control panel!) with stainless steel cleaner and then with a stainless steel care product. The control panel must not be cleaned with stainless steel cleaner as this may be aggressive to the inscriptions. Use a moist cloth and light rinsing detergent to clean it and wipe it dry with a soft dry cloth. Note: The appliance must not be cleaned with a highpressure cleaner or with water pressure! 7 5. Maintenance First disconnect the appliance from the mains before carrying out any repairs. In the event of malfunctions, first of all check the household fuses. Contact your responsible Gaggenau after-sales service if the power supply is in proper working order, but your appliance is nevertheless not functioning. Specify the appliance type (see rating plate). Repairs must only be carried out by authorised specialists, thus ensuring the safety of the appliance. Improper tampering will render all warranty claims null and void. 8 6. Practical tips 6.1 Table of settings The specified grilling times serve as guide values only.

In this way, they will brown evenly and they will stay nice and juicy. – Always preheat the grill. In this way, the intensive heat radiation will seal the surface of the grilled food and juice cannot leak. – Place grilled pieces directly on the gridiron. If there is only piece for grilling, place it on the gridiron, as far as possible in the middle, over the switched-on heating elemen. That is the best to do it. Turn grilled pieces over as soon as they can be removed easily from the gridiron. The pores have now been sealed. – Always grill steaks unsalted. Otherwise, water and soluble nutrients might leak and be lost. – Avoid pickled foods such as boiled ham and smoked pork etc. as otherwise a compound may be produced that is harmful to health. – To avoid drying out of the surface and to improve the taste, lightly brush grilled food with heatresistant oil (e.g. peanut oil). Make sure you do not use too much oil as otherwise there will be a risk of fire. – Meat is medium if juice leaks out of the surface of a steak (pink inside and crispy brown on the outside). – Do not pierce the meat while grilling it. It may lose its juice. Turn the meat when small drips can be seen on its surface. – Do not remove the fatty layer (e.g. on a cutlet) until after grilling as otherwise the meat will lose juice and aroma. Would you have known? Advantages of grilling No or little fat is used when grilling. Therefore, it is a low-fat preparation method. Grilling is a gentle cooking method in which nutrients, taste and aroma substances are largely retained. Grilled foodstuffs are easy on the stomach because they are prepared without fat and sauces. During grilling, intensive browning appears on the surface of foodstuffs, but no crust, with the result that grilled foods are easy to digest and are suitable for diets. – You might notice that the grilling element switches on and off automatically during the grilling time. This is normal. – Poultry becomes particularly crispy brown if you coat it with butter, salty water or orange juice towards the end of the cooking time. – Serve grilled food hot. – Grilled food will go tough if you keep it warm. 11 Beef Poultry – Well-hung pieces are particularly suitable. If you have not gathered much grilling experience, you should practice with pieces of meat such as rump steak or high rib, after which you can try your hand at entrecote or fillet steak. For smaller pieces of meat, the gridiron must be very hot as otherwise the meat will dry out. – All kinds of poultry can be cooked on the grill. In the case of guinea fowl, small pigeons and quail, we brush a little fat onto the skin. Do not brush chicken with oil because they have enough fat under their skin. Poultry is seasoned inside and out before grilling. Veal – Veal very quickly becomes dry, also in foil. To protect the meat, you can wrap bacon around it. This will sacrifice its fine intrinsic taste, but the meat will remain juicy. Veal steaks taste good if cut from the back and grilled for such a short time that the meat is not too well-done. Then leave the meat to rest at 80° in the oven. Pork – Nicely streaky pork does not need a marinade or oil. With the exception of roast pork and neck of pork, pieces of fillet, chops and hocks can be grilled well. Pork takes slightly longer to cook than other kinds of meat. Lamb – Lamb is ideally suitable for grilling. It is more tender than beef, but not as tender as veal. Chops and pieces of shoulder are ideal. Lemon butter goes well with these. Preheat the plate and serve the piece of meat as hot as possible because the fat is difficult to digest when cold. 12 Fish – Salt water fish are no problem at all, whereas fresh water fish require a gentle approach because they fall apart in most cases. They are best prepared in aluminium foil or brushed generously with olive oil or lumps of butter. Vegetables / potatoes – Firm types of vegetables such as celery, chili, aubergines, corn cobs, fennel or onions are outstandingly suitable for grilling. Fruit – Apples, bananas, pears, pineapples and peaches grill lends themselves excellently to grilling. GAGGENAU HAUSGERÄTE GMBH P.O.
